Terminal Apparatus Image Data Output Suppression
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In image processing systems, unnecessary image data is often output to the network, leading to resource wastage and the display of unwanted images.
Innovation Solution
A terminal apparatus and control method that prevent the output of unnecessary image data by masking control signals or setting data lengths to zero, ensuring that only designated image data is transmitted.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If pipeline processing is used to execute multiple image processes, then processing efficiency is improved, but unnecessary image data may be output to the network
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by setting a flag before pipeline processing starts to indicate whether output should be suppressed. This flag is checked during processing to prevent unnecessary image data from being output to the network, while still allowing the pipeline processing to execute efficiently for multiple images
2Duration of action of stationary object
If pipeline processing continues after stop and resumption, then processing continuity is maintained, but wrong sequence images may be transmitted
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses feedback by checking the flag status during pipeline processing to determine whether to suppress output. When the stop/resume condition is detected, the flag prevents output of images with incorrect sequence numbers, ensuring that only properly sequenced images are transmitted to the network

AI summary
A terminal apparatus performs processing (S 1003) of accepting input of an image data set formed by a plurality of image data, generating (S 1003) processed data by performing image processes on the image data, and executing (S1004) output of the processed data to an output buffer, the processing needing a predetermined time from the input to the output; reads out (S 1303) the processed data from the output buffer and output the processed data to a communication line; and controls (S706) such that the processed data stored in the output buffer is not output to the communication line during a predetermined time from the input of the image data of the image data set until first processed data of the image data set is output to the output buffer.
